We've got a central web page linking to various databases. The original version of the page has category links. Clicking on a category takes you to another web page with a list of reports for that category. Clicking on links on that page takes you to the actual report, which is usually an Access database.

Unfortunately, it isn't always clear which category a report should go under, so I had the brilliant idea of creating Javascript pop-up boxes that list the reports under each category. While I was at it, I decided to make the links in the boxes clickable, thus rendering the sub-pages obsolete.

I cruised around the Web, found a script to lift, and it seemed to work, except for one little problem: When I click on a link, the underlying database pulls up fine. But when I exit the database, something pulls the database back up again.

Does anyone have any idea what could be doing this?
